A Plymouth Superior Court judge denied a motion to dismiss a grand jury’s decision to indict David Robbins — the Onset man arrested for killing 33-year-old Yves Roux Jr. in November 2019 — for first-degree murder.
Robbins’ defense attorney John Amabile filed the motion to dismiss and argued in support of the motion at a pretrial hearing on Monday, Dec. 14.
Before Judge Debra Squires-Lee, Amabile argued that the evidence presented to the grand jury did not “sufficiently establish probable cause” that Robbins committed first-degree murder when he allegedly stabbed Roux on Main Street following an incident of road rage.
In the motion to dismiss, Amabile argued that Robbins, a 66-year-old Wareham resident, did not commit “an intentional killing with deliberate premeditation or by extreme atrocity and cruelty,” which is one part of first-degree murder.
